I think it will be around 35m now, so anything above that will be profit for PSR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skarroki Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 I'd think this was always in the pipeline which has given us the confidence to go for our main target of Onana at CM. Spent the money before it's come in. I think Archer and Philogene coming back is offset by a Duran sale too. Then whatever we get for Digne / Moreno will go towards a statement RB signing.

The add-ons that were achieved will have hit in 23/24 so doesn't affect book value. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 We'll have to sign another player, one that likely has to get used to this league as well. I know that sweet PSR profit hits different, but I feel like on the pitch, we're likely to get weaker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jonesy7211 Posted July 16 Popular Post Share Posted July 16 I don't want him to go. I don't think we've seen the best of him, and I do wonder if Bailey's massive upturn in form was to do with his old mate joining us. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDR V2 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 38 minutes ago, thunderball said: Apparently not Emery's first choice, that was Nico Williams. £60+ is a lot of money in this market and a £30m profit on paper. This, coupled with £35m+ for Duran (and Moreno or Digne who will depart), leaves a lot of amortised money on the coffers. Seemingly Williams will go to Barcelona or Villa, and Barca are dragging their heels on a deal, if you believe Twitter Williams will be a shown around the club when we play Bilbao on the 7th. Also Felix is another that Emery holds in high esteem, its crazy but I wouldn't put it past Monchi to get both (Felix on loan). ....then we just want Frimpong. Hang on, are you suggesting/hinting/saying or denying that we are/were/could be in for Nico Williams. I hope they don't show him around Walsall. He would be worth the ticket money alone, one of the best at the Euros. Surely we can't beat Barcelona to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way it doesn't matter, as the point is that it won't be anywhere near enough to allow us to cover bulk of transfer spend for the foreseeable, like the grealish money did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Something else to factor in is that the club are in a much stronger position now to replace a high-profile departure. When we signed Diaby it felt like a huge deal as he was a player always linked to big Champions League regular clubs that Emery and co. had obviously sold the project to, having now actually qualified for the CL ourselves makes it a lot easier to replicate signings of that calibre were he to leave and bring in the kind of figure being thrown around.

VillaJay Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 If Diaby and Duran go, I'd imagine we'll only see 1 player come in to cover both roles and Felix seems like the obvious choice, we simply don't have enough space in the squad and will need to offload a few more. Not sure if Felix would be an upgrade either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if Felix would be an upgrade either. Daiby, Duran, Dendoncker, Hause and one of Moreno or Digne gone and 1 more in would make our squad the good size.

DeadlyDirk Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 I would say Baena or Felix are the ideal replacements for Diaby/Duran, it's already been mentioned but Alvarez as a wildcard option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
